amount becomes responsible for the money

SAYS: when money is paid by a bank upon
a raised OF altered check by mistake. the
general RUE is that it may be recovered back
from the party 10 whom IL was paid as hav-
ing been paid without consideration but h
either party has been guilty of negligence or
carelessness, hy which the other has been i'm

The doctrine Is clear and is sustained by am
thority The bank is NOT bound 10 know any

in the absence of any circumstance which in
Hicts injury upon another party, there is no
reason why the bank should not be reim-

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

II the South holds itself solid with the
Democratic party, as it is likely 10 DO,
the great question in that section will be
the choice Of s presidential candidate
1t isnoi yet time for the South TO at
tempt to name a candidate upon any
grounds. but his ability to win is the OBJ
iective point in orderto retain the admin
is,ration four years longer which will
mean a long lease of power and a con-
seryatiye and safe period during which
the South can devote her energies to the
development Of her natural wealth.
Nor need there be any excitement over
the claims Of any budding candidate for
the Vice Presidency, whom aspiring
friends put forward as champions Of the
South and entitled to the second place
on the ticket"
The best service that Southern politi-
clans and newspapers can do the people
il to hold the South up 20 AN idea of the
Presidential election that means tho
nearest approach to certainty by the use
Of the solid electoral vote TO be given a
man nominated in a convention that
shall select him foi his strength.
Whether this be Cleveland OF anybody
else cannot be decided yet and the rings
that always form around candidates some
months before the convention need not
begin any preliminary work FOR some
time
The offer Of solid block Of the cleo
toral vote is entitled to great considera'
ton in the nomination Of the President
but what we mean is that the offer should
be to the man most likely to be elected
and not on personal preferences

THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

Surprising that the Democrats did the
necessary work yesterday, the only
chance against a victory was the posi-
biliiy OF rain.
The day, however, was fair as far as we
have heard at the present writing, and
Richmond led of with full vote.
When the victory is assured it is OF lit
tie consequence whether we have large
or small majority in the Legislature,
except for the moral effect on the indi-
vidual at whom the general and spirited
assault on the Republican line is really
directed
A two thirds majority in the Legisla-
ture has not by any means benefited our
party. but on the contrary has tended to
soldify the confidence in numbers and
the determined adherence TO one policy
without the proper and healthy discus
sion that our opposition induces. The
opposition may be as bad as the Repub-
licans are, but in the nature Of our in
situations 1t is necessary to keep the
party in power within the bounds OF
reason and justice.
We have fought the battle Of the Vir-
GINA Democracy as hard and as effec-
lively as any paper could since the Ro-
anoke Convention, without discussing
any issues that might divide our people,
but now that the struggle is over and the
victory won, we shall urge a different
policy from that which has involved the
State in disastrous contest with the
Federal courts and injured her repu'a-
ton to the great detriment Of our bust
ness interests and our progress.
The State must be placed abreast with
the times. and her finances and other
affairs managed according to modern
ideas.
The present generation that fought the
war must hand down to the next one a
community restored entirely IN political
and material welfare
It is useless to go to the outer gates and
whine about poverty No brave and in
telligent people are poor in State az
rich IN resources as Virginia is, and the
plea Of hclplessness is something we
ought TO be ashamed OF a. men.
We cannot afford this cringing and
begging policy. especially when it il
coupled with ridiculous plan OF bull
doing the Federal courts on ideas that
have been dead for twenty years
Then let all the sensible men in Vir
ginia understand what is the one wisC
and practical course, viz. To settle that
debt, as much Of it Is we can, and fund
the rest II will have TO be done sooner
or later as we have explained fully, and
+ the sooner 1T is done the better. Let Vi
have no more nonsense about enemies
+ Of the State and Federal usurpation
/ but, like men, take hold OF the difficulty
and arrangeit.

Hon. Joseph Chamberlain Canada
Fish Commissioner, expresses fears
that he will be treated rudely in this
country on account Of his position ON
Irish affairs 1t is true that diplomatic
agent in the nature of his office should be
agreeable to the country to which he Is
accredited but it is not certain that Mr.
Chamberlain duty with the state De
partment is so important as TO make ii a
matter Of grave moment what he thinks
or feels on other subjects than mackerel
and cod, as they represent certain dis
puted rights Of respective citizens Of
Canada and the United States. Besides
this, Americans are too manly and fair
to indulge in any personal affairs to a
stranger in order to vent their spleen al
something that affects other people than
our own.
Though a radical Of the Radicals, Mr..
Chamberlain refused TO follow the Liber-
al chieftan when Gladstone proclaimed
himself in favor of giving Ireland home
rule. He not only refused to support
Gladstone in his Irish policy, but he Of
fered the most Incorporating opposi'
ton to it. 1t must have seemed very odd
to his Radical constituents to see their
leader stand shoulder 10 shoulder with
Harrington and Goschen, and it doubt
less was great disappointment to Glad
stone and his friends that Birmingham
did not at once and for all time then and
there set It's seal of condemnation
upon Chamberlain But Birmingham
did nothing of the sort, believing that its
great representative had good reasons fol-
his change OF base They beard the
reasons and were satisfied, and are SO
still, knowing that Mr. Chamberlain
comes to America as the representative
OF an administration with which he and
they have little or nothing in common
except the determination to prevent the
possible disruption Of the union by con-
ceding home rule to Ireland
